This is an original oil painting on canvasboard by American artist Jerry De La Cruz (b 1948, Denver, CO). The work is a horizontal format, 9” high by 12” wide. The framed size of the work is 16” high by 19” wide. The subject is a lightning storm at dusk in an old-world village next to a river. A wide river almost fills the bottom of the picture plane and winds its way to the right horizon line where a stately stone covered bridge crosses it. To the left, a tall steeple extends above the tops of the village buildings, all in black silhouette in front of a yellow cloud reflection of the setting sun. Above the horizon line, the sky is filled with dark gray clouds which have opened up to rain. Several bright white lightning strikes extend to the horizon from behind a dark cloud. This work is from the artist’s “Unusual Atmospheric Conditions.” Although painted in a traditional style, the work has a surreal quality to it. The palette is unusually dark, primarily blues and blacks, with some yellow. The work is aptly titled “Bright Night.” It is in pristine condition and signed front lower right by the artist. The work includes its original framing, an ornate gold-gilt wood frame with ivory linen liner and is ready to hang.

Born 1948, Denver, CO. Saatchi site presence maintained by Young's Fine Art. Extensive website at delacruzarts.com. "De La Cruz's mastery of formal and experimental techniques reflects a career dedicated to creative probing and discipline. It is rare indeed to come into contact with an artist who so successfully ranges from abstraction to surrealism in single canvases. Themes of personal identity and interpersonal responsiveness are layered into his work, allowing the viewer to share in the artist's process of questioning the relationships of his subjects to the world. The insights that develop in his works are universal in their ability to connect the reflective with the informative." Joaquin Alvarado Jerry De La Cruz (b 1948, Denver, CO) was listed among the three dozen most influential regional artists of the twentieth century in a Denver Post survey of regional curators (2001). His was the only Spanish surname. At the first International Latino Art Auction held in Phoenix, AZ in conjunction with Sotheby's (2003), De La Cruz proved the best selling artist of the auction and drew the highest auction price for a single work. The Denver Art Museum's first purchase of a living Hispanic's work for its permanent collection was a De La Cruz. Years later, he was the only artist considered when that same museum wanted to commission a contemporary digital work commemorating the opening of its new Libeskind Building (2007). De La Cruz was the recipient of back-to-back artist in residency grants from Colorado in his early career and received as well their very last painting fellowship in 2000. For a spell in 2006, works of De La Cruz were included in three unrelated art museum exhibits in Denver (Denver Art Museum, El Museo and the Mizel). Other honors include award of Best Art Event of the Year by Westword Magazine and appointment to Denver's Commission on Arts and Culture. De La Cruz currently splits his time between his studio in the Santa Fe District in Denver and his new studio in the Little River District of Miami.
